Chapter 1283: The End

Just when everyone thought that all forces were making every effort to prepare for next year's Jingcha, the Xu Party made another move against the Yan Party.

On the seventh day of November, Lu Fengyi was impeached by Lu Fengyi, the governor of Zhejiang, for the ten crimes of bullying and greed.

Roughly speaking: Hu Zongxian was originally a fellow villager with Wang Zhi, the leader of the pirates, and Jiang Zhou, Chen Keyuan and others were all spies of the pirates. In the Jiangnan crackdown, Hu Zongxian played with the soldiers, and allowed Wang to be the coastal defense officer, and swore to make peace with him. If it weren't for the emperor's wisdom and decisiveness, he would have killed Wang Zhi, and the shame would not have been snowed. And Hu Zongxian actually thought that he had done it and played well in the imperial court. Recently, he has been drinking for a long night, and he has been ignoring the woes everywhere. Misappropriating military salaries, cutting down people's wealth, accumulating silver like a mountain in the governor's office, gathering adultery like friends, prostituting prostitution, taking concubines, deducting the silver taels of cloth made for the year, indiscriminately giving and advocating excellence, selling official positions in the city, and serving officials and soldiers privately, please punish them heavily.

Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, was already a genuine second-grade official, while Lu Fengyi was a small seventh-grade official.

Generally speaking, if a local official impeaches a feudal official, the imperial court will be more protective of this feudal official, so as to ensure that a place can be stable, not to mention a feudal official with great achievements.

It's just that this impeachment was missed by the cabinet, and the cabinet immediately proposed to dismiss Hu Zongxian and send him to Beijing to await trial.

As soon as the news came out, no one in the officialdom in the capital stood up to defend Hu Zongxian. Everyone knows that this is Xu Jie's instructions, but he is going to take action against Hu Zongxian, the most outstanding representative of the Yan Party in the local area, and the governor of Zhejiang.

Although Hu Zongxian served in the local government, his title was already the second rank of the military department and the right capital of the imperial history, once he officially returned to the dynasty, he would definitely be among the six books.

However, whether it is to get rid of a banner figure of the Yan Party or to solve this big hidden danger of the Yan Party, the Xu Party has enough reasons to choose to attack Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian Anhui Jixi people, family generations of Jinyi Wei origin, Jiajing 17 years in the Jinshi, the first grant of Yidu Zhi County, Yuyao Zhi County, and later to the imperial history patrol according to Xuanfu, Datong border town.

Due to the death of his parents, he stayed at home for five years.

In the thirtieth year of Jiajing, Hu Zongxian patrolled Huguang and participated in the pacification of the Miao uprising.

In April of the 33rd year of Jiajing, the imperial court appointed Hu Zongxian to serve as the governor of Zhejiang to supervise the imperial history, which also opened a fast channel for his career.

Zhao Wenhua, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, was recommended by his father-in-law Yan Song and was sent to Jiangnan to supervise coastal military affairs in the name of sacrificing to the god of the sea. Hu Zongxian resolutely chose to take sides and joined the camp of the Yan Party.

Under the strong recommendation of Zhao Wenhua, Hu Zongxian soon served as the left squire of the military department and the left of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, first adding the governor of Zhejiang, and then the governor of Zhejiang, Nanzhili and Fujian, and once controlled the troops of the seven provinces.

It was during Hu Zongxian's tenure as governor of Zhejiang that the anti-Japanese struggle achieved an unprecedented victory, first capturing Wang Zhi and then killing Xu Hai.

When it comes to personal merits, looking at the tens of thousands of officials in the entire Ming Dynasty, there are really few people who can compare with Hu Zongxian.

It's just that with the fall of Yan Song, the new first assistant Xu Jie is already going to purge the Yan Party, and Hu Zongxian has become a thorn in Xu Jie's side.

In this general environment where the party is united and divisive, it is destined that there will not be so many truths to speak of. As long as there is a small black dot on your body, it will be infinitely magnified by political opponents, and eventually you will become a victim of political struggle.

It is precisely because of this that Hu Zongxian was not defeated because of his ineffective suppression of the Japanese and because of the war, but only because Nanjing Huke listed some crimes that Lu Fengyi did not know whether they were true or false.

Ironically, Liaodong was once again sacked by the Mongol tribes, but Yang Xuan, the governor of Jiliao, was unharmed. On the contrary, in the peaceful Zhezhi area, the governor of Zhezhi was escorted to Beijing for questioning.

Just as Jinyiwei was escorting Hu Zongxian away, his next major operation to pacify the Japanese in Fujian had to be suspended, and the previous combat strategy was probably about to be nullified.

On November 29, taking advantage of the good opportunity of the loss of the commander of the Ming Dynasty, several groups of Japanese robbers jointly captured Xinghua Mansion in Fujian Province, burned the city and plundered it, slaughtering 20,000 or 30,000 residents.

Since the Japanese invaded the southeast, although there have been more than 100 plans for breaking states, counties, guards, and offices, they have never affected any of the prefectures, and this is the first case since the Ming Dynasty.

When he learned the news, Ning Jiang was so angry that he jumped to his feet and shouted that Xu Thief had misled the country. He also deliberately went to the north of the city, pulled Lin Haoran to drink a stuffy drink, and then went verbose all night, and hurried back to the military headquarters early the next morning to continue to go to the office.

The original good anti-Japanese situation, but because of this party dispute, the people of Xinghua Mansion in Fujian Province attracted a catastrophe, and tens of thousands of people died under the sword of the Japanese invaders.

When this incident came, many officials in the capital began to re-evaluate Hu Zongxian's value.

In the Taiping period, many people thought that Hu Zongxian was dispensable. Who knows, the stability of the southeast Japanese in recent years is precisely because Hu Zongxian has silently made great efforts behind the scenes.

It's just such a great hero, just because of an impeachment of Lu Fengyi, a protégé of Xu Jie, but he was dismissed and went to the capital, which can be described as chilling.

On December 25, Hu Zongxian was escorted to the capital and directly entered the edict of Fusi in Beizhen.

In the Nanjing incident, Lu Fengyi impeached Hu Zongxian for ten major crimes, including embezzlement of military salaries and excessive taxation, any of which could be killed, and Hu Zongxian was already standing on the edge of the cliff.

But I don't know if the situation in Fujian suddenly became bad, or remembering Hu Zongxian's various exploits over the years, Jiajing finally did not listen to Xu Jie's opinion and handed Hu Zongxian over to the third division for trial, but changed his mind and returned Hu Wanxian directly to his hometown to live idle.

As soon as the news came out, I didn't know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate.

In the face of the turbulent problem of Fujian, the imperial court chose another person who was close to his cronies.

Xu Jie's posture was that of a virtuous minister, and he once again handed over the right to appoint personnel to Guo Pu.

Guo Pu recommended his fellow Henan countryman Zhao Bingran, the left deputy capital of Yushi, but instead of serving as the governor of Zhejiang, he was appointed as the governor and governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

With Hu Zongxian being ordered by the imperial court to return to his hometown and live idle, the last officialdom shock of Jiajing's forty-one years came to an end.

It was this year that Xu Jie, who had endured for ten years, finally overthrew Yan Song, and carried out a bloodbath on the Yan Party again and again, so that the glorious Yan Party in the past no longer existed.
